It can feel overwhelming trying to choose between a PIVOT relationship coach vs. a therapist, and we often get asked what the difference is. To help advise your choice, here is our guide to relationship coaching vs. therapy and the myriad of benefits coaching provides.
PIVOT Relationship Coaching vs. Therapy: The Key to Healing Your Relationships
PIVOT relationship coaching vs. therapy – what is better for couples? There is no right answer, they are just different forms of support! We work with therapists all the time, and we often have couples come to us when couples counseling isn’t giving them the results they want. PIVOT’s focus and approach are slightly different, offering couples a new perspective and another chance to heal.
The Unique PIVOT Relationship Coaching Process
The PIVOT relationship coaching process is unique because we work with each member of the relationship individually AND as a team.
At our retreats and personalized PIVOT sessions, we provide a relationship coach for each person, so both partners can process what they are learning independently. We then bring couples back together to work through their newfound knowledge as a pair.
This is extremely successful, because each partner has their own support person during the process, allowing for growth both individually and as a couple.
At PIVOT, our relationship coaches utilize the latest research and training to bring each individual in a relationship to the same level of involvement and attachment. We believe lasting change begins with better connections and that no one is an island; people thrive in community. That’s why our coaches establish a network of support for every couple who works with us.
You and your partner have access to the full arsenal of PIVOT education, behavior change methodology, research, and resources when you work with us. Every coach, facilitator, and alumni from our program will fully support you. Couples thrive knowing a whole team is helping and cheering them on!
A Coach For Every Person in the Relationship
Whether we are working with you and a partner or you and every adult member of your family, PIVOT believes true change comes from working one-on-one, together. We provide a relationship coach for each person at our retreats and personalized PIVOT sessions. This means you have time to work directly with your coach to get to the root cause of your maladaptive behaviors and decide on action steps to move forward in a healthier way. Your PIVOT coach acts as both your support and your facilitator during group sessions with your most cherished people.

PIVOT Relationship Coaches vs. Therapists: The Difference Is in the Process
When struggling couples work with one relationship coach or therapist, the therapist is often put in the position of referee. It is their job to remain neutral and objective and not side with either partner exclusively. Because their time and attention are divided, either partner’s trauma is often explored only superficially. And, if one partner is struggling emotionally, the therapist has to remain neutral. We often work with couples who have struggled with this form of support.
With our PIVOT process, each partner gets their own coach. This means they can individually explore their traumas, feelings, and behaviors and show up to their couple’s session more stable and open to communication. And, relationship coaches act as facilitators for their clients. They can speak on behalf of their client (if the client wishes), try to communicate when their client cannot, and work with the other relationship coach to try to bring the couple back together. We’ve seen success time and again with this approach, because couples feel truly supported and heard.
